Our environment is our most important asset. We work with the community to ensure the sustainable use of our natural resources. The future of our beautiful region starts with protecting and caring for it today.

We provide bus services in Queenstown and Dunedin to help you get to where you need to go. Our journey planner can help you figure out which bus route is best for you. For those unable to access the bus service we administer the Total Mobility scheme which provides access to subsidised taxi fares.

Under certain circumstances - for example, obtaining further information - time frames may be extended. (Click each image to open larger)
